Chris Bosh led the Raptors past the Pacers 102-98. The All-Star forward had 24 points and 10 rebounds. The Raptors have now won four of their last five contests and have a firm grip on the fifth playoff spot in the East. Carlos Delfino had six three-pointers and scored 23 points in the win, reports AP.

Toronto trailed by 11 after the first quarter but outscored Indiana 35-16 in the second to go into halftime up eight points. But the Pacers came storming back and were ahead early in the fourth quarter until the Raptors went on a 14-2 run to take a 97-88 lead—which was large enough to escape Indiana with a narrow victory.
